After three hands of hand-for-hand play, the bubble has burst. Hoyt Corkins elected to not even look at his cards or sit at the table while on the bubble in fear of becoming the bubble boy. The table all had a good chuckle and Corkins made it into the money after the following hand finished.

Fabian Schoneck was in middle position and raised to 4,200. Andrew Moser was on the button and moved all in for his remaining 6,800, and Schoneck called.

Schoneck tabled {k-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, and Moser showed {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Schoneck made two pair on the river when the four hit to send Moser to the rail and the rest of the field into the money. All remaining players are guaranteed a minimum of $2,249.

Chun Law was in the hijack and opened the action to 6,000. Pablo Bai was on the button and three-bet to 21,000, Law called.

The flop was {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Law led for 40,000. Bai deliberated for a couple minutes and then moved all in for what appeared to be 38,500.

Chun Law: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Pablo Bai: {a-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

Law had the nut-flush draw with straight outs and some backdoors, while Bai was in the lead with aces and the same gutshot draw.

The turn was the {6-Hearts} improving Bai to two pair, but the river was the {q-Clubs} giving Law the ace-high flush and a large pot at this stage of the tournament as Bai hits the rail.

As recounted by a player at the table, the following hand took place.

Jeff Lisandro was on the button and raised to 4,400. David Williams was in the small blind and called. Brian Borovay potted in the big blind to 18,000 and both called.

The flop was {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Williams led all in for roughly 20,000. Borovay moved all in for roughly 30,000 and Lisandro folded.

Borovay showed {a-}{a-}{9-}{3-}
Williams tabled {j-Spades}{8-Spades}{a-}{q-}

The turn was a non spade king and the river was a non spade six giving Borovay two pair with aces and sixes and Williams a smaller two pair thus eliminating Williams and vaulting Borovay into the 6-figure chip club.
